I got
acquainted with Charles on the Sawmill
Creek Woodworking Forum a while back and he responded to a post that
I had made about my workbench project. During the conversations I
had with him (through E-Mails), he told me about how he too, was impressed
with the plans that appeared in Woodsmith
Magazine (Issue No. 173) from which I had used to build my bench.

Charles
told me that he also used that article and plan as a basis for building
the base part of his router table. He used BORG pine KD studs and
a piece of double sided laminate for the top. According to Charles,
the laminate had once been a desk return. The result is that the
router table is rock solid and very flat.

As
you can see in the photo below, Charles added a cabinet and six drawers
in the lower section below the top.

Charles told me that this
router table was one of his first projects and was a welcome addition to
his shop. I think it would be a fantastic addition to anyone's shop....
Agree?

Charles said that he has
affectionately called his table a surfboard router table (and sometimes
a tall skateboard). As you can see in the photo, the leveling pads
are used to raise the wheels off the floor when the table is in position.
He said that almost all of the tools and major pieces of equipment in his
shop are on wheels so that he can utilize the extra space in his garage
shop that is shared by the car.

Charles told me that the
best part of this router table is that he really enjoys using it.
Can't blame him..... it's awesome! If you feel like contacting Charles
